Feet start going numb when I lay down to sleep
8 answers - active on Mar 4th 2020
Everytime I lay down to go to sleep, my feet start tingling and go lightly numb, similar to when your feet fall asleep but to a lighter extent. I am so worried about this that I will be getting a Diabetes test next week, as all the info I seem to find online point to Diabetes as a cause of this and how this disease causes nerve damage in feet. Also every few days I get pin prick feelings in my feet when standing that come and go very quickly. I work from home and spend most of my waking time sitting in front of my computer cross legged on my chair. Here are my stats in case it helps:
White male
40yrs old
6ft tall
240lb weight
My diet is decent with very little junk food, but unfortunately I drink about a six pack of soda a day and can't seem to kick this habit, as all non-calorie sweeteners tend to upset my GI system and make me sick, and water just doesn't do it for me. In case this is a blood sugar problem, I am taking the herbs Cinnamon w/chromium picolinate, Gymnema Sylvestre and Fenugreek.
Any ideas on this? Thank you.
Did you ever find out the problem? I have the same symptoms when I lay down to sleep. I'm very healthy 38yrs 14% body fat and exercise five times a week.

Nerve damage from blood sugar being too high. This will progress if you don't take care of it. Get tested by a neurologist for nerve damage.

This happens to me and I'm supplementing with chromium picolinate. If I take this in the morning, I notice the effect during the evening and the next morning.
I have the same symptoms and do not have diabetes. My blood checked and 100 percent normal. if you want to be a Doctor, go to med school.
Nerve compression caused by spinal issues can cause this. As can diabetes, as can a variety of major & minor neurological conditions. It sounds like peripheral neuropathy but if you want to know for sure get a good checkup with your dr & if that doesn't explain it see a neurologist.
